Sex offender held on $100G after alleged attack in Pelham

PELHAM -- A 34-year-old registered sex offender is being held on $100,000 cash bail after he allegedly tried to sexually assault a woman he was on a date with, according to Pelham police.

The man, Walter Collier of Allenstown, N.H., had initially given the woman a false name, police said, but the alleged victim told police that Collier said he was from Allenstown and was able to give a description of his tattoos, which helped Allenstown police identify him.

The woman was able to fight off the alleged sexual assault and called police at around 10:15 p.m. Monday, police said.

He fled before Pelham police arrived, but was arrested Thursday.

Collier is being held on $100,000 cash bail and is scheduled for an arraignment Friday.
